The explanation for it was once again ridiculous. "Um I make you suffer so you don\\\\\\'t wanna die." Except we see plenty of the species that were crying out for Meteion to kill them did indeed suffer a great deal in the exact same fashion as people today. "Um yeah, but like sundering helps people control dynamis." Except it didn\\\\\\'t. Bitch did you see Thavnair?

Nah but see you don't get it. It's not murder! Like for real, if I slash at you and your whole family and break you up into tiny little entities that are way weaker and basically have the lifespan of a gnat compared to what they used to have - people who can't even form words and have to learn how to do everything all over again...it's not a form of murder just because none of you remember anything from before and don't have the same personalities. I mean yeah you're all basically different people now and any friends you had from before who didn't get sliced up are gonna mourn you since they lost the friends they knew, but hey it's a clean slate right? What you can't remember doesn't matter right? It's not like all your hopes, wishes and history matter anymore since it's all wiped clean. If I see one of your friends that I let escape, I'll try to cheer them up and tell them that their friends aren't dead, they just now have 14 new friends they can get to know (I mean since you won't remember them, they'll have to re-introduce themselves and stuff but yeah).

You just don't get it. You can't become too complacent or too comfortable in life - that will lead to apathy and then you'll just wish for death because you're so bored and nothing is fun anymore because you don't experience torture or extreme hardship so you have nothing to compare the feeling of fun to. You gotta like, experience both joy and sorrow to have balance. Idk maybe you can like have a couple of happy days and then we could manufacture some suffering in there to keep the balance that way our civilization won't end up so bored we wanna die. Because feeling like you're ready to pass on is super evil - your personal choices and autonomy have nothing to do with anything. I can't think of anything worse than someone living for thousands of years and then deciding they're ready to pass on - TRUE EVIL RIGHT THERE. A more meaninful existence would be living through unbelievable torture everyday but Forging Ahead ™ and then giving a monologue to your oppressors about how all the torture they're doing to you is just making you stronger, or better yet it would be more noble to be in a remote village starving and dying of malaria. Don't you see that the ones going through all that suffering have a much better existence because they're better equipped to deal with suffering since they deal with it all the time, whereas the first person I mentioned lives a comfortable life with no hardships. Just unbearable! They need to at least have a couple of diseases or maybe a little poverty in their life. I mean look at Sisyphus, one must imagine he's overjoyed:



No but seriously. EW literally turned me into a cutscene skipper. I feel so silly spending so much time looking into the lore..and then seeing the joke they gave us as an ending to a 10 year arc. At this point I wish I could have enjoyed it. But now I'm just a jaded player that chuckles a little when I see an excited sprout "Aww yeah I remember when I was excited to play this game..."
